Slackware Updater - slackupdr
by Chuck56 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N4HF)
Looking for something to test drive while we wait for Slackware-15.0?
I've spent some time redesigning & refactoring my scripts used for upgrading the dozen or so Slackware systems I'm running. I named the scripts slackupdr & will no longer be developing autoslackpkg separately.
https://www.go4it2day.com/news/slackupdr-3.0.html
"slackupdr automates the use of slackpkg, manages installation of multiple kernels & updates LILO & ELILO bootloaders. The script expects to be run as the root user. slackupdr is menu & config file driven."
CRITICAL Item #1:
If you want the scripts to run mkinitrd then you need to have /etc/mkinitrd.conf populated per Slackware directions.
CRITICAL Item #2:
If you want the scripts to modify & save lilo.conf or elilo.conf then pay special attention to 2 variables,TEMPLATE_LILO & TEMPLATE_ELILO in /etc/slackpkg/slackupdr.conf. Hopefully the help & man pages provide some guidance on these 2 templates.
Have fun if you choose to test drive the scripts. I've attached screen captures of the menus.
